Meu Retorno

The gate swings open, and the longing fades away
How great this place is
I’m arriving step by step, arms wide open for a hug
To embrace my old folks

From the kitchen window, I can see the little saint
Where the night gathers around her
I whispered the Hail Mary, made my prayers
For a better world

(Any road brings me back here
In my return, I still feel like a kid)

I cross the door in a second, feel like I own the world
Just for being back here
And a stubborn tear rolls down, soft and beautiful
When my mom smiles

The family gathers, and we grow closer each time
In an endless moment
Every story told is a page remembered
From a time so beautiful
